Misguided is the man who doesn’t express his grief. Courageous, brave, authentic, and healthy is the man who does. Hold your wife and cry your eyes out WITH HER. That is better then the best counseling ever!

What a beautiful poem. I read it out loud to my husband. Our situation is a little different because the loss of our 9 year old daughter, Lauren, 4 months ago had me very concerned for my husband’s emotions that I constantly ask how he’s doing. Lauren was daddy’s girl, so I was afraid his grief would overwhelm him, but he’s been brave as expected of men.

I am gald you enjoyed the poem. Thank you for sharing it with your husband. Let him know we are here if he needs any help or needs to speak with another grieving dad. He doesnt have to do this alone, there are a lot of us out there willing to help anyway we can.
